When it’s Adobe’s time to show off, you know it’s your time to pay attention.
Creative License is their demonstration to designers of just what’s possible with the Adobe Creative Suite, and their demonstration to regular Joes that they will never have even a tenth of the skill that these guys have.
Prepare to be impressed:
The Art of Manliness has put together a fantastic list called “100 Must-Read Books: The Essential Man’s Library”.
It’s filled with books that change your life and shape your perspective on politics, religion, money and love.

I’ve talked about Chuck Palahniuk’s Snuff before, but now that his some of the book’s marketing is starting to see the light of day, I thought it was worth a revisit.
If you remember, Snuff is about Cassie Wright, a porn priestess who intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication.
To give Cassie’s character a little more believability, two videos were created to promote Cassie’s previous work:
The Wizard of Ass - Dorothy is Not a Virgin Anymore:
and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Bang:
Don’t you wish every book’s advertising was this…interesting?

The Rolling Razor is a new type of razor that uses two opposing heads to shave “in multiple directions with a single stroke”. Also, having both heads allows you to shave both with and against the grain in fewer strokes for a closer shave.
Available in both men’s and women’s styles, it’s designed to give you a faster and easier shave, and with an innovative handle, it “puts you in control”.
The Rolling Razor might not go Mach 3, but your face and body probably won’t mind.

Cheese Racing is a sport that was pioneered back in 1997, when someone discovered that processed cheese slices thrown on the BBQ will actually boil inside of their plastic pouches, inflating the bag and baffling the mind.
The rules are simple:
The CRASS (Cheese Racing Association) has a full set of rules, but if you follow those two, you’ll pretty much guarantee a fair fight.
Also, though their have been zero fatalities so far from cheese racing, you must keep in mind that this is an extremely dangerous sport, and not one that should ever be attempted indoors.
Gentlemen, start your cheese slices!

Take it from Mini: Despite what your driver’s ed teacher taught you, 9 and 3 always beats 10 and 2.
In order to help new Mini drivers get the most from the car, and to show off the racability of their line, Mini has put together a pretty thorough collection of introductory pro driving tips on their Mini Racing site.
All the basics are covered, like proper seat position and correct shifting technique, but they even show you some advanced techniques like heel-toe breaking and the proper cornering line.
It might not make you F1 worthy, but unless you’re already driving an F1 car, it’ll probably give you a few tips and tricks that will improve your car skills dramatically.

Apparently the new trend in Japan is customized scooters that have been lowered, chromed, painted and tuned.
Since Japan brought us the rice rocket, could this be the next trend in vehicle modification?
Though it might look a little funky from the front, it’s all business from the back and sides.
Ferrari just announced the “hugely versatile, innovation-packed GT Maranello” they’re calling the Ferrari California. (Take that, other states!)
Featuring 8-cylinders of mid-front mounted Grand Tourer power, it’s exclusively a convertible with a folding hard top for when you’re ready to mess up the ‘do.
Specs?
0 – 100 km/h in less than 4.0 seconds, 7-speed dual clutch transmission, multilink rear suspension, F1-Trac traction control system, Brembo brakes, carbon-ceramic discs, etc. Basically, if you want it in a sports car, then it’s there.
To me, the front looks a little bubbly, and the wheels don’t do anything for me, but the back looks pretty good with single tail lights and vertical exhaust, and the side looks pretty good as well with classic proportions, so maybe this prancing horse will grow on me soon enough.
Look for it at Ferrari dealerships and country clubs near you.
